Is that what you call the group's skiing? Sounds a little pretentious...the thunder and lightning.
Sorry, we entered from the first side door although there were a few people coming off the top and it didn’t look like much of an issue.How was the entry? Was quite funky a few weeks ago

Strangely, things were frozen better from the top to the bottom of the mountain even though nighttime temperatures were theoretically higher. Where the bumps were total mush yesterday, they were firmer today. Even after decades of corn/spring skiing I am still learning about how dewpoint, wet bulb temperature, barometric pressure, wind, orographics etc. effect the snow surface.

Couldn’t make it today but hope to get there tomorrow.
Before Phil canted my boots. (Follow up to @Philpug's post above -
@Keys2Ski visit, along with Regina and her sister Estelle
We skied Alpine Meadows and the snow held up if you know how to follow along with the mountain.
Last few runs were off Scott Chair, which were really good.

It was like skiing on sugar
Was considering going to Pally this weekend for West Face but....had such a blast on high-traverse these past few days... hmmm choices. We like bumps but its hard to see how the bumps are looking like on Mosely and 75Played hookie today and came to ski KT before it's too late. OMG. The west bowl is skiing like a dream. Chute 75 is skiable though the bumps are too big for my abilities at the choke point and below) ! I also did the bowl under the chair and skier right. I am having a beer to see if my legs come back before they close. Each lap is a full leg workout with the slush. It is certainly a little too warm.
Some pictures of the run of the day (West Bowl/Moseley area)
